Forum rules
This forum is meant for general questions about the usability of OJS from an everyday user's perspective: journal managers, authors, and editors are welcome to post questions here, as are librarians and other support staff. We welcome general questions about the role of OJS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.

What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OJS:

1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OJS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.

2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OJS basics as time goes on.

3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OJS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

I just uploaded some galley files (PDF) to an already published issue and realized that the files did not get indexed. Somehow I recall that in the past this indexing happened automatically (as it is also mentioned here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6610&p=25477&hilit=indexing+article#p25477).In my config.inc.php "pdftotext" is enabled.Any clues as to what is going on here?Many thanks!

Well, running rebuildSearchIndex.php is quite a major operation in this case. When I set up the journal some years ago I had to do it over night on my local machine because the server didn't cope and constantly ran out of memory (there are quite a few articles). There is still the possibility of running rebuildSearchIndex.php for just the new added articles (by modifying the script) but it was just so convenient in the past... Is there a way to check what's happening with the index when I add the new galley files?

Many thanks for this information.It's just one journal. But I have to move my installation to a different server in the next couple of days anyway and will try to rebuild the index there (after upgrading).I'll post back if this doesn't solve the issue.

Alright, I moved my installation to another server and ran an upgrade (now OJS 2.4.2.0).Unfortunately rebuild the index with rebuildSearchIndex does not work. I get some 25000 keywords in article_search_keyword_list but these are only keywords from the articles' titles.

Sorry for pushing this but it's quite urgent. My old installation will be down in a couple of days and till then the new one has to be up and running...Maybe any hints as to how to debug this? I get no error messages and I don't see anything in the log files (I might looking in the wrong place though...).

Do you get any error messages in your PHP error log? I'd expect to see a security problem (e.g. execution of external tools disabled for security reasons), a permissions problem (e.g. file permissions), an out-of-memory situation, or something similar; all should be logged. You can use "php -i" to dump your PHP configuration, including logging setup, to find where those are recorded.

No, I haven't (shame on me). I was too intimidated to do this...Actually I don't know how to apply this patch. I downloaded the commit by adding .patch to the URL (like this https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/commit/c ... 5a6e.patch)But I am confused, I can't find two of the files that should be patched in my installation, namelytests/classes/core/PKPRequestTest.phptests/classes/core/PKPRouterTestCase.inc.php
